Two brothers were indicted for intentional homicides and placed in pre-trial detention after the discovery of two bodies on their property in the Luberon, corpses that would be those of the two men, 25 and 26 years old, missing since December in Aude , the parquet floor announced on Saturday.
The autopsies performed on Thursday have already made it possible to say that the two people found murdered on the property of the two brothers, in the village of Revest-du-Bion, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, were killed with firearms, "probably of the hunting rifle type", specifies the press release of the public prosecutor of Aix-en-Provence.
"DNA analyzes are underway to confirm the identity of the victims, even if the elements of the file already allow us to assume that it is indeed" Gabriel Ferchal, 25, and Julien Boumlil, 26, from Malves -en-Minervois, continues the press release from Achille Kiriakides.
A meeting for "recovery of heavy goods vehicles"
The two friends were last seen at Revest-du-Bion on December 3, and their disappearance was reported to the gendarmerie on December 19 by their relatives. According to the daily Le Parisien , which had revealed the arrest of the two brothers, Gabriel and Julien went to the Luberon for "repair of heavy goods vehicles". They had an appointment at Revest-du-Bion with one of the two brothers, whom they would have met previously in the Aude.
The investigations carried out by the investigators quickly made it possible to think of an abduction or forcible confinement of more than seven days, the public prosecutor of Digne-les-Bains had transmitted the file to the parquet floor of Aix-en-Provence, competent in criminal matter.
The two brothers were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, after the discovery of the bodies on Tuesday, and then placed under investigation. Initially opened for kidnapping and forcible confinement without voluntary release, the investigation was extended Wednesday to the count of voluntary killings.
